In all honesty, I see models every day in New York. Believe me when I say, they are not particularly pretty or healthy-looking women. I saw today a model with legs so thin, she's probably wearing kid sizes. I disagree with what you say. I don't think there are a lot of thin, healthy women in the fashion industry nowadays. Not when the US Vogue puts on an article about "plus-size" models called "when size 4 is too big" in their latest edition. I don't think it's bad to say "hey, this woman eats, and she has those boobs naturally", when the Victoria Secret show gets stick-thin girls with boob jobs to envision what men allegedly like.

Some people will always be thin, for a fact. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll look good, or like the way they look. However, I do think healthy bodies with healthy attitudes about self-esteem are a way better role model than underfed, starving girls who believe that "nothing looks as good as skinny feels".
